Miami Lakes is known as one of the most beautiful residential areas in South Florida for its tree lined streets, large estate lots, and extremely low crime rate. We provide our residents with friendly and helpful service through our departments, including the Office of the Town Manager, Office of the Town Clerk, Administration and Neighborhood Services, Building Department, Planning Department, Community & Leisure Services Department, Public Works Department and the Police Department. The Town of Miami Lakes Community & Leisure Services Department is responsible for overseeing one of the most unique parks systems in Miami-Dade County consisting of 101 total park locations in a 6.5 square mile area. With a park in walking distance of almost every neighborhood in the Town, there is always something to see and do in a park or a recreation facility each and every day. You will find a program, an activity, special event, or a special place that brings you back again and again. Over the last 40 years, Miami Lakes has progressed from a dream on paper to a reality. This vibrant community is nationally recognized as one of the best examples of unique and innovative town planning with lakes and canals making up about 11%. For residents, all of this means that one can enjoy a quality of life that is second to none - natural scenic beauty, a vibrant cultural environment, and lively nightlife. For businesses, Miami Lakes offers an ideal environment for success - a central location with immediate freeway and airway access with a hometown feel. Our number one goal is to continue with the enhancement of Miami Lakes' quality of life and unique community feel through visionary land use planning, efficient provision of public facilities and services, protection of neighborhoods, and conservation of those built and natural assets which define the town.
